Rails - Apr 2005 - script/generate -p seems not to work

Just a shoutout to whoever might care about this:

The -p (--pretend) option of the rails generator script doesn''t seem to
work.
And no i''m not going to put this on a wiki or do anything else about it
because *i* appear to understand rails less well than many thousands of people 
  (ok, i''m exaggerating) on this list who regularly post.  If anyone
wants to
take note of this or do something about it, fine.  If not, fine.
